To use PhotoGIMP simply rename the AppImage to contain PhotoGIMP in the filename:

• PhotoGIMP.AppImage and plain photogimp. Setting env var ENABLE_PHOTO_GIMP=1 or passing the flag --photogimp also work.

• This will cause it to create a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/PhotoGIMP directory and copy over the PhotoGIMP config files.

• It will also make a desktop entry in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/PhotoGIMP-AppImage.desktop and copy needed icons to $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons

Once done you will be able to keep using PhotoGIMP by launching the new desktop entry, you are also able to use both regular GIMP and PhotoGIMP both at the same time.

• To uninstall PhotoGIMP simply run it with the --remove-photogimp flag.

AppImage made using sharun and its wrapper quick-sharun, which makes it extremely easy to turn any binary into a portable package reliably without using containers or similar tricks.

This AppImage bundles everything and it should work on any Linux distro, including old and musl-based ones.

It is possible that this appimage may fail to work with appimagelauncher, I recommend these alternatives instead:

• AM am -e pkgforge-dev/GIMP-appimage gimp

• dbin dbin install gimp.appimage

• soar soar install gimp

This AppImage doesn't require FUSE to run at all, thanks to the uruntime.

This AppImage is also supplied with a self-updater by default, so any updates to this application won't be missed, you will be prompted for permission to check for updates and if agreed you will then be notified when a new update is available.

Self-updater is disabled by default if AppImage managers like am, soar or dbin exist, which manage AppImage updates.
